When I was in my first year I really enjoyed the biological and cognitive part of psychology. However, sometimes studying for that subject was a pain due to the amount of material. Here, I put together a little overview of things that could help you getting through this!
In this magazine you can find:
Summary of Cognitive Psychology by Goldstein
Summary of Physiology of Behavior by Carlson
Explanatory YouTube clips that are instructive and facilitate your readings
Have fun!
Hey students!
One book for this subject is "Goldstein, E.B. & Van Hooff, J.C. (2018). Cognitive Psychology (1st edition)". There is a beautiful summary of an old version of a similar book of the same author (Chapter 1-12, except 8&13). Take care of the changes in the new version of the book! I hope the summary helps to facilitate

One big part of physiology is the nervous system. If you find reading through this part as boring as I did I can tell you that the following video is a massive help. However, this video is not as detailed as necessary but it gives a great introduction into the topic and facilitates the reading material. Give it a shot and you will thank me for life!
When I was sitting in my biology class in school I did not grap the action potential at all! A few years later I sit innocently in my Cognitive Psychology lecture and there it was again. Maybe you can relate?
It is so much easier to understand when presented in a video! Check this out!
Important for your understanding of psycho-biology is the influence of differnt drugs on our brain - this will also play a big role in psychopharmacology!
You should be familiar with basic functions of the brain and the action potential by now (if that is not the case check out the videos I posted on my profile). This little clip visualizes the theoretical knowledge you obtained through readings and explains the effect of different drugs on our brain.
Watching videos is - in my opinion - always a good supplement to old-school reading and writing.
This video is one example of a video regarding cognitive psychology (i.e. Memory). However, the channel has heaps and heaps of different videos regarding different topics.
